Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump: A 1994 American epic romantic/comedy drama
The feather:
Various interpretations have been suggested for the feather present at the opening and conclusion of the film. Tom Hanks interpreted the feather as: "Our destiny is only defined by how we deal with the chance elements to our life and that's kind of the embodiment of the feather as it comes in. Here is this thing that can land anywhere and that it lands at your feet. It has theological implications that are really huge.
Sally Field compared the feather to fate, saying: "It blows in the wind and just touches down here or there. Was it planned or was it just perchance?" Visual effects supervisor Ken Ralston compared the feather to an abstract painting: "It can mean so many things to so many different people.

The feather is stored in a book titled Curious George, Forrest's favorite book, which his mother read to him, connecting the scene's present time with his childhood in the 1940s. The placement of the feather in the book is directly on a picture of the monkey walking on a tightrope. Whether that was intentional or not, it is very symbolic. The feather also has a correlation with Jenny's constant obsession with "becoming a bird and flying far far away" due to the abuse (sexual and physical) she endured from her father. She goes as far in the film as to ask Forrest "if she jumped off the bridge, could she fly?" (Wikipedia)

Forrest Gump, one of my favourite movies, I alway loved the feather scenes..
Instead of just one symbolic feather, here is thousands from the flock of white parrots that were feeding in the park this morning.
My day started with Milo's walk, where he chased this flock of white parrots, he just loves to scatter them, no barking no nastiness he just loves the chase, pity the parrots didn't realise this.

The day has now turned nasty with black heavy rain clouds and it's pouring with rain and a very cold wind (17c)
I think I will just stay indoors today and watch the movie!!
